Two Good Hours - #22 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)

In 2022, Konami shocked the heck out of us all and released Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection for multiple consoles and PC. As I quote from the press release, "13 iconic TMNT games, one shell of a time". There were beat 'em ups, fighters, arcade games, game boy games. But here, we take a look at the action-adventure title for the Nintendo Entertainment System simply titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

When they announced the Cowabunga Collection, I think a lot of people wanted a second crack at this game in particular. I'm glad to have another chance at this game and I'm glad to be sharing this for Two Good Hours.

I heard someone recently say that you could be familiar with a game for years, but if you get to a part in the game you've never been to before, it feels like a brand new game. I most definitely had that feeling in this hour.

Fun fact, in Europe, the game and franchise was called Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. But in Japan, the game was called Geki Kame Ninja Den which is roughly translated to english as "Legend of the Radical Ninja Turtles". I think I prefer the Japanese name way more.
